The Energy Recovery control unit

Energy Recovery control units are specifically

designed to transfer the energy recovered
from oil-free air compressors to the customers
process.
The control unit is installed between the compressor and
the customers cooling- and heating circuit. A modular
design guarantees perfect integration of the Energy
Recovery in the application.

Main functionalities:
Regulation of compressor cooling water pressure
and temperature to keep the compressed air system
working optimally
Compressor operates independently from the
customers process
Optimal compressor cooling water quality
Single interface between compressed air system - up
to 4 units - and the customers process.

Stainless steel back-up heat exchanger

There are 4 sizes of control units available, which

can handle the energy recovered from the oil-free
compressors up to 900 kW.
A comprehensive standard execution can be extended
with a number of application specific options.

Optional equipment:
Built-in back-up heat exchanger: Makes sure the requested set point of the
cooling water delivered to the compressor is maintained. In case not all the heat
energy (hot water delivered by the compressor) is consumed by the customers
process, the fresh cooling water circuit connected to this heat exchanger will further
reduce the temperature.

Built-in heat exchanger for the customers process circuit: A stainless steel
gasketted plate heat exchanger for process water

Stand-by water pump: A redundant variable speed driven water circulation pump
will kick in automatically when the duty pump stops. Isolating and check valves are
included

Anchor pads: Fixation to the foundation of the unit can be guaranteed

Connectable compressors: Control units are available to handle the heat energy
in the cooling water flow of multiple compressors, and this up to a maximum of 4
compressors connected to 1 single control unit.
